Injection Mold & Tooling Laser Cleaning

In-situ laser cleaning removes polymer flash, carbonized residue, plate-out, and release agents from injection molds, hot runners, cavities, and ejector pins — zero dimensional change, no texture loss, and dramatically reduced press downtime versus solvents, ultrasonic, or media blasting.

Common Injection Mold & Tooling Materials

Tool steel (P20, H13, D2), stainless steel, chrome-plated, nickel, and Inconel surfaces cleaned without degrading polished finishes or critical tolerances.

Common Contaminants on Injection Molds & Tooling

Carbonized mold release, polymer flash, plate-out, epoxy/thermoset residue, rubber/silicone flash, and wax buildup — all selectively removed while preserving cavity geometry and polished surfaces.
